Thank you, Madam Chair.
As a matter of record, I'll just make a general comment. I think to a degree we might be getting ahead of ourselves here with respect to ruling out things like research and advocacy. For example, under the terms and conditions, research and polling activities that aren't directly tied to the project would not be eligible, but research when it's inherently part of the project that's put forward is an absolutely legitimate part of an exercise that would advance the cause and advance the kinds of issues that are being talked about, the objectives here in the cases.
Similarly, it falls to the applicant to try to define the scope of how these objectives should be put forward. In fact, what they say is essentially that the applicant must demonstrate through the content of the project proposal just how these objectives could be achieved. I think there's a fairly broad berth here in terms of how one can frame these proposals to get the outcomes you're looking for. That's just in the greatest of respect to the previous comments.
I also note in here issues around entrepreneurship specifically relating to violence against women. These are all part and parcel of the kinds of issues that I think speak directly to notions around inequality that have been roundly discussed here this afternoon.
I would invite your comments on that thought, but I would certainly encourage your wise and experienced organizations to look at how these terms and conditions can in fact be put to good use for the women you represent.
I encourage any response to that.
